The Package Saga Comes to an End

Posted on September 25, 2010 by Michael Froomkin

The package arrived. At last.

Delivered MIAMI FL 33146 09/25/10 4:21pm

And it appears to actually contain what I ordered. So I can get back to blogging about other things, I suppose.

Florida Bar Pass Rates 2010

Posted on September 25, 2010 by Michael Froomkin

Since I posted bar pass data in the last two years, I'll do it again:

Florida, 86.8%
Florida State, 86.2 %
Miami, 86.0%
Florida International, 84.2%
Nova Southeastern, 80.8%

AVERAGE OF ALL LAW SCHOOLS, 79.2%

Stetson, 78.8%
Florida Coastal, 78.8%
St. Thomas, 78.7%
Barry, 74.7%

AVERAGE OF NON-FLORIDA LAW SCHOOLS, 74.0%

Ave Maria, 64.0%
Florida A&M, 62.5%

Note that the top three schools are less than 1% apart. Note also that results are not as meaningful as they may seem, since they don't tell you how many graduates took out-of-state bar exams, nor how they did. Not to mention a whole bunch of other reasons.

[Update (9/27): Full stats including number of test-takers here.]

Quidditch Meets the Law

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Michael Froomkin

Further to my discovery of college Muggles Playing Quidditch, it seems Mike Madison was there long before me — in 2007 no less.

Plus he set out some interesting thoughts on Quidditch and Copyright. The comments are interesting too.

Where’s My Package? (V)

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Michael Froomkin

No-Priority-Mail.gifOK, this is vaguely hopeful:

Your item was processed through and left our OPA LOCKA, FL 33054 facility on September 24, 2010. The item is currently in transit to the destination. Information, if available, is updated periodically throughout the day. Please check again later.

I just hope the “destination” is me. Nothing in today's mail, so I guess I'll find out tomorrow…

Meanwhile my package continues its Florida vacation.

In light of some of the entertaining (thank you!) comments on previous postings, I should mention that this is only the second time in at least ten years that something ordered online hasn't turned up more or less when it should. Admittedly, the bulk of those purchases shipped UPS or FedEx, but some appreciable fraction, including purchases from abroad, came USPS.

Where’s My Package? (IV)

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Michael Froomkin

No-Priority-Mail.gifAfter more than two days of non-information, the USPS tracking site has a new, gnomic, utterance about the whereabouts of my package:

Processed through Sort Facility, September 24, 2010, 11:21 am, OPA LOCKA, FL 33054

But what does this mean? Is the package now, or tomorrow, going to wend its way to me, or is it starting a return journey home?
